In Search of Elvis: A Journey to Find the Man Beneath the Jumpsuit
by Charlie Connelly
263pp, Little, Brown, £12.99
It was inevitable that a man who sounded unique should end up so copied. This book's problem is that the subject has been Xeroxed to death by impersonators. "I don't sound like nobody," Elvis told Sam Phillips's secretary at Sun Records. He didn't, and the world was never the same after he hit stardom in the 1950s with all the simplicity of a cartoon.
Andy Warhol's reproductions show Elvis as the perfect commodity, a replica, like Mickey Mouse or the Coca-Cola logo (or the atom bomb, one might add). He was a product of that consumer culture which devoured him as surely as he got fat (putting Heartbreak Hotel on the same block as McDonald's), yet his star remains undiminished. In 2005 he earned more dead than most of us dream of earning in a lifetime: £25m.
A week or so after he died in 1977, I went to a tribute show at the Palomino Club in Los Angeles. His impersonator did enough for the Dixie grandmother behind me to holler: "I know he's dead but I just don't believe it." Thirty years on, Connelly offers a similar take on the posthumous Presley legend - the same delusion and willingness to be entertained - but he is too nice to question the daftness of its subscribers. How daft is a minister who calls himself Elvis Priestley? The subject is also creepier than he allows. The necrophile fascination with Elvis is the same as when he was alive: he stands for nothing, so can be coerced to represent anything.
Connelly travels the world after interpretations of the meaning of Elvis and the reasons for his undimmed popularity, but comes nowhere near the precision or wit of a two-page entry in the excellent Panic Encyclopedia, a "definitive guide to the postmodern scene" published in 1989, which polarises Elvis into cynical commodity and Jungian archetype of the Sun King - a formula that time has proved correct, guaranteeing the King his afterlife, down to advertising Kingsmill bread on TV.
Connelly's problem is that, as a non-driver, he becomes beholden to interviewees forced to ferry him around. He jokes about his inadequacies in the faux-matey style of bad 1970s music journalism, and favours redundant speculation of the sort found in John Motson's football commentaries. Tracing the journey Elvis made at 13 from Tupelo to Memphis, Connelly feels moved to note: "The young man ... would not have had an inkling of the effect the city would have on him," before adding with a flourish worthy of Motty, "Nor the effect that he would have on the city."
In Memphis, Connelly stays at Heartbreak Hotel, a vision of hell, with piped Elvis music and his films on a loop. Away from the shrines, the going gets thinner. Canada - where the Catholic church once excommunicated two Montreal fans for going to an Elvis show in Ottawa - is home to Schmelvis, a Jewish impersonator. In Porthcawl he attends an Elvis Festivel (sic) where a young man alternates impersonating Elvis with impressions of Frank Spencer. Even more bizarre is the Finnish linguist who sings Presley in Latin ("Non adamare non possum"/ "Can't Help Falling in Love") and Sumerian. His accompanist runs a motel that is closed half the year, and in an episode that should read like something from an Aki Kaurismäki movie, Connelly instead is at his most Pooterish. Of the Sumerian version of "Blue Suede Shoes", he notes, straightfaced: "It was a hauntingly addictive piece of music." He decides the Latin album is "highly engaging" after confiding "I'd rather feared that the novelty of hearing Elvis in Latin might wear off fairly quickly".
Instead of Connelly's weak conclusion, reached in an Elvis Café in Israel - Elvis's qualities of spirit and goodness manifested in "amazing" people met, hands across the ocean, and so on - refer to Panic Encyclopedia for its image of the last concerts, of Elvis in ruins, the fat man in whom "there is a trace of pathos and self-denigration so deep, so true and so diamond-sharp that you know you are finally in the presence of the last violent, sacrificial rites of a Sun King, American style". Of that stone-cold dead Elvis there is nothing here.

Ward looks to make curling history
Angharad Ward is writing her name in the history books just by going to the Winter Youth Olympics but the teenage curler insists she is interested in silverware, not just personal accolades.
The 16-year-old has announced herself as one of English curling's brightest prospects ever since arriving from Canada last year, representing her adopted country at the European Junior Challenge in Prague.
And last month Ward made the jump up to senior competition as she helped England win three games at their European Championships in Moscow as they just missed out on the Group B play-offs.
All this early promise earned her a plane ticket to Austria for the inaugural Winter Youth Olympics as early as September, making her the first English curler to do so with the rest of her team all hailing from Scotland.
But despite admitting to pride at her Innsbruck selection, Ward's thirst for glory won't be quenched unless she makes an appearance on the podium.
"It makes me feel really privileged and proud to be the first English curler to play at the Winter Youth Olympics," said Ward.
"I was over the moon when I found out and it is so exciting to think that I will be at the first Winter Youth Olympics and it is just an amazing opportunity.
"I found out back in September so I have had a lot of time to think about it, although after that I was in Moscow for the senior Europeans which was a really good tournament to build my confidence ahead of Innsbruck.
"Even though I am really proud to be the first English curler I still think we should be going for medals as we are heading to Austria highly ranked.
"I think we are ranked third so we have a really good chance of winning a medal and that will mean so much to me so that is my aim out there."
With Ward outnumbered on the British curling team heading for Innsbruck three to one by her Scottish teammates, the teenager realises she has a duty to England to perform.
And despite being hell-bent on winning a medal, she is also aware of the need to raise the profile of the sport back home.
"I think more people need to get involved in curling in England and I hope I can play some part in that," she added.
"Curling is so big in Scotland but I want to show that English people can curl too. So I hope to prove that in Innsbruck and hopefully bring back some silverware in the process."

Using Humor (or Humour) in the classroom is always good and a good joke can really make a difference.
It's an excellent way of breaking the ice with your students, getting the class relaxed and generally fostering a friendly atmosphere to work in.
However, don't over do it – you're a teacher not a stand-up comedian – and be careful with the jokes you use. Some students are easy to take offense and since jokes are often made at the expense of an individual or type, you should try to ensure that they do not alienate or offend anyone in the classroom.
This is especially true when you are working in a foreign culture: it's sometimes difficult to understand that what you may find amusing someone else will find offensive.
Telling Jokes (Word Play)
Often jokes will find their humor in word play –
This office is closed today because of illness… I'm SICK of work!
Walking into a
Don't forget though, analyzing a joke like we did above often removes its humor!
So… before telling a joke make sure that
- the students know the vocabulary and any word play
- the joke is of the right language level (of course you can simplify them as required)
- it is not offensive to anyone
Remember, you can often change the tense of a joke to suit the occasion:
A horse walks into a bar. "Why the long face?" asks the barman.
A horse walked into a bar. "Why the long face?" asked the barman.
And finally, don't dismiss the idea of bad jokes: a groan from your class means they have understood what you have said and have enjoyed it!
Joke List
These jokes are fairly innocuous; however make sure that they are suitable for your class and will not offend anyone before you trot them out!
Some employees bought their boss a gift for his birthday. Before opening the gift, the boss shook it slightly, and noticed that it was wet in the corner. Touching his finger to the wet spot and tasting it, he asked, "A bottle of wine?"
His employees replied, "No."
Again, he touched his finger to the box and tasted the liquid. "A bottle of scotch?"
His employees replied again, "No."
Finally the boss asked, "I give up. What is it?"
His workers responded, "A puppy."
Q: Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?
A: Yes I am, I married the wrong man.
A man is talking to God.
The man: "God, how long is a million years?"
God: "To me, it's about a minute."
The man: "God, how much is a million dollars?"
God: "To me it's a penny."
The man: "God, may I have a penny?"
God: "Ok, I'll give it to you in a minute."
Teacher: Tell me a sentence that starts with an "I".
Student: I is the…
Teacher: Stop! Never put 'is' after an "I". Always put 'am' after an "I".
Student: OK. I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.
Two cows are standing in a field.
One says to the other "Are you worried about Mad Cow Disease?"
The other one says "No, It doesn't worry me, I'm a horse!"
Two cows are standing in a field.
The first cow says, "Mooo!"
The second cow goes, "Baaaa!"
The first cow says, "What was that?"
The second cow says, "Oh, nothing. Just practicing my foreign languages."
Q: What do you call a boomerang that won't come back?
A: A stick.
Q: What travels around the world and stays in a corner?
A: A stamp.
Q: What do you call a pig with three eyes?
A: A piiig.
What do you call a fish without an eye?
A fsh!
Q: What did the ocean say to the beach?
A: Nothing, it just waved!
A man inserted an advertisement in the classifieds: "Wife wanted".
The next day he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have mine."
Teacher: Today, we're going to talk about the tenses. Now, if I say "I am beautiful," which tense is it?
Student: Obviously it is the past tense.
Q: What is orange and sounds like parrot?
A: A carrot
Q: Can a kangaroo jump higher than the Empire State Building?
A: Yes, because the Empire State Building can't jump!

Jessica Alba in Designer Jeans
Jessica Alba in Paige Lydia Boyfriend Jeans in Riley
Jessica Alba was pictured picking up some lunch to go at Fresh Corn Grill in Los Angeles, California last week. I always love seeing her out and about, she has the most amazing casual style.
Jess wore her Paige Lydia Jeans in Riley with a white and black contrast blazer, matching shoes and a black tee. I love the combination of this outfit! The boyfriend jeans are worn tighter so they only have a slight slouch to them, but everything is pulled together by the blazer and pointed flats. I adore it! Buy these jeans online at PaigeUSA.com for $209.

Jessica Alba in American Eagle Skinny Jeans in Medium Authentic Destroy
Jessica Alba was photographed while carrying some drinks out to her car. Jessica wore a pair of American Eagle skinny jeans in medium authentic destroy with a simple white t shirt and gold Chuck Taylors.
I think the fit on these is really nice. I like how they have a nice bit of slouch, but are a skinny jeans. I love that Jessica mixes up her brands so much and isn't afraid to wear high end labels or things from more affordable brands like American Eagle and Gap. You can buy these jeans online from American Eagle for $50.

Jessica Alba in TEXTILE Elizabeth and James Ozzy in Floral Watercolor
Jessica Alba was spotted taking her daughters to a birthday party in West Hollywood, California. The actress wore a pair of TEXTILE Elizabeth and James Ozzy Jeans in Floral Watercolor with a neutral shirt and sweater.
I find this print to have a more organic feel to it rather than other floral prints that are just a pair of jeans with flowers on them. I also found that Jessica's bag really makes the blush tones of the subtle print pop. What do you think of this print? You can click here to purchase TEXTILE jeans from Shopbop.
Jessica Alba in Goldsign Virginia Flares
While making a Starbucks run in New York, Jessica Alba was snapped by the paparazzi. She was in town for Fashion Week and was seen making the rounds at the shows.
I actually really enjoyed seeing her outfits this week, including this one with her Goldsign Virginia Flares and a denim shirt with red wedges. We usually see Jessica in her skinny jeans, but it seems like she's working her flares back into her wardrobe. I think these flares and her Level 99 flares are some of my favorite styles on her. You can buy Goldsign online from Shopbop.com.

Groups urge Duke to build a solar farm in Anderson County
Two renewable energy advocacy groups are urging Duke Energy to include a solar farm in its construction of a new plant at the W.S. Lee Steam Station in Anderson County.
The Coastal Conservation League, based in South Carolina, and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, based in Tennessee, said Duke should build what would become the largest solar farm in the nation to complement a smaller natural gas-fired plant. Attorneys testified before the agency that regulates Duke Energy, saying Duke has not exhausted options to use lower-cost and lower-risk resources.
Representatives from Duke Energy said they had no plans to begin collecting solar power, because that would cause higher rates for its customers.
"We have to consider the least-cost option to the customer," said Duke Energy spokesman Ryan Mosier. "Solar is not the least-cost option."
Duke Energy applied for approval from the Public Service Commission of South Carolina to build a natural-gas fired plant at the station, which is on the Saluda River south of Pelzer, in October. The station has used coal-fired plants since it opened in 1951.
"It (natural gas) is more effective, better technology, newer technology," Mosier said Thursday.
The conservation league and the alliance for clean energy said Duke also should consider a solar farm that can produce up to 375 megawatts of power.
"When the sun is shining, Duke would not be burning gas," said Stephen Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.
Smith said Thursday that the cost of solar is decreasing, and Duke should re-examine its original estimates. SACE representatives offered testimony that the cost of solar power systems has fallen 28 percent since 2010.
"We think the company could experiment. ... We think anything they do where the solar is decreasing the amount of fuel they burn could help customers in the long run," Smith said.
The cost of building a solar field is still too high, said Janice Hager, vice president of integrated resource planning and analytics for Duke, in testimony. Hager estimated it would take seven acres to produce one megawatt of power, and a total of 2,625 acres to create a solar farm of the size Smith recommends.
The gas plant project requires 20 acres, she said.
A solar farm under construction in Arizona, according to testimony from SACE representatives, will have a 290 megawatt capacity, making it the largest such farm in the nation when it is completed.
Georgia and North Carolina are ranked in the top half of states in the nation for solar usage, according to testimony from Lee Peterson, an attorney for the two renewable energy organizations.
In North Carolina, 1,400 people are employed in the solar industry, he said. A new 14-megawatt solar plant in Georgia generated 345 jobs, he added.
Mosier said Duke may consider a solar farm in the future.
"Our customers want renewables in the mix," he said, "and we want that as well."
